Amhrán (continued)
“The ouo came home from Claedheach ¶ To-day and I am glad of it”
(continued from previous page)Curfá
Nách mise a bhí mórdháileach nuair a tháinig sé abhaile chugam.11.
He got so very homesick,
That his throat got sore with sadness;
So one morning when he awoke
His chains he broke with madness,
Bhí slabhra ó “Inchicore” air
Ná raibh doighte ná laguithe
Gan casadh a bheith ‘na coir air
Is gan órdlac de laguithe.
Curfá
111.
The like a flash of lighning
Through Claedheachruadh he madly tore,
The Flesk he crossed at one flying jump
And Derryneague he galloped o’er
Do ghearr sé tré ‘s na comhgair
Le neart deabhaidh do cneadaigh sé
Tré gleanntaibh is tré mór cnuic
Ní dóigh liom gur stadadh sé
Do bhí sé tuirseach tnáidhte
Is ní raibh áthas air ná dúil i meidhir
Is ba dhóbhair do bheith báidhte
Is í a’ gábhail tré Átha Cúm a’ Gadhair(continues on next page)
